Late to the party on this discussion... DFSMS recently shipped a new utility named GDKUTIL. It converts z/OS data sets and UNIX files to cloud objects and visa-versa. This enables utilizing cloud object storage as a method for z/OS sharing data, such as SMF, as opposed to FTPing. Use GDKUTIL to write the data to object storage for shared access across sysplexes / platforms and visa-versa - ingest off-platform data into z/OS. DFSMS CDA (Cloud Data Access) is used to securely manage cloud access.
